These May be the Easiest Fabric Baskets We’ve Seen

Adjust the Size for 101 Uses!

These handy little baskets can be used for so many things, and they’re very quick and easy to make. Plus, once you understand how they go together it’s simple to adjust the size to suit your needs.

All it takes is pretty fabric and fusible interfacing (or batting) to help the baskets hold their shape. Keep in mind that a stiffer interfacing may be needed for larger sizes.

The baskets were originally designed to hold scraps of various sizes. They’ll be so pretty sitting on your cutting table collecting scraps as you go.

They can be used for many other things, as well, and the shape as well as the size can be easily adjusted. The following baskets, from Mama G. and Co., can be used for storing notions. Or, slide one under your machine’s extension table for catching thread snippings.

This larger size, also from Mama G. and Co., was made for storing patterns.

The baskets can also be dressed up with orphan blocks, a bit of patchwork, applique and more. Spending a bit of time with embellishments is a nice idea for those that will be used for gifts.

” … it seems like a lot of directions for something really easy…but sometimes explaining takes a bit of time.”

These baskets truly are very easy to make. Plus, Christina has written additional instructions for pressing the baskets so they’re boxy instead of round at the top. You’ll find pressing instructions here.

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest has featured many patterns from vendors participating in the Craftsy Marketplace, most of which have been deleted by Craftsy. It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

PLEASE NOTE: Quilting Digest does not sell or otherwise provide patterns directly. We showcase patterns and projects from various vendors, bloggers and other sources. Please make a note of where you access a pattern (the link in the yellow box toward the end of each Quilting Digest article). That way you can contact Support for that source if you have downloading problems or other issues. Thank you!
